Or don't these shoes look fantastic?

I wish I could order them right this second.

I had my yearly work review today. It was more like a 5 min chat. My boss had nothing to say. He is satisfied with my performance. I am thrilled. It's quite refreshing to be appreciated ( Read more... )

I bought a black pencil skirt last night for my friend's wedding this sunday. Now you might remember that was one thing I wanted to be able to wear and look good in. It's not perfect but I look pretty cute in it. I lost 19lbs to date. wooot ( Read more... )

I flew a kite for the first time today. Yep at 30 something. D was surprised although not shocked. The thing is that my parents didn't do much with me as a child so I didn't get those experiences then ( Read more... )

one sign that I like my boss: I am totally bummed out that he hasn't been around since this morning because I can't tell him that our new assay seemed to have worked (by looking at the raw data at least).

It looks like I jumped on the cold band wagon. I am stuffy, sneezy, sore throaty (?) and my brain is fuzzy. I am also drugged up. And today I get to work with the chemical that you don't want to spill on yourself.

I can't even go home cuz it's thursday and thursday is UV day. I have trouble keeping my eyes open, wtf?

i want a nap. am leaving early if I can.

So fuck you brain and your self imposed limitations.

Art class, here I come.

what's next?

peace?

The plans for C's bachelorette party changed last minute and we ended up spending the afternoon in the studio of a local abstract acrylic painter, being creative. This was perfect for C as she has been taking all the painting classes she can and she is very good at it too. it was expensive but well worth seeing the joy in Cris's face ( Read more... )

i have reached my first weight goal (actually I am below it already), I have been exercising for a week (quite a milestone for me) and D is out of town for a bachelor party this week end. This is the perfect trifecta to go off the diet today, for one day ( Read more... )
